Drug interactions
Шаблон:Main Grapefruit and grapefruit juice have been found to interact with numerous drugs, in many cases resulting in adverse effects.[4] This happens in two ways: one is that grapefruit can block an enzyme which metabolizes medication,[5] and if the drug is not metabolized, then the level of the drug in the blood can become too high, leading to an adverse effect.[5] The other effect is that grapefruit can block the absorption of drugs in the intestine,[5] and if the drug is not absorbed, then not enough of it is in the blood to have a therapeutic effect.[5]
One whole grapefruit or a glass of Шаблон:Convert of grapefruit juice can cause drug overdose toxicity.[4] Drugs which are incompatible with grapefruit are typically labeled on the container or package insert.[5] People taking drugs can ask their health care provider or pharmacist questions about grapefruit/drug interactions.[5]
Use in cocktails
Grapefruit juice is used in several cocktails, such as the sea breeze (which consists of grapefruit juice, vodka, and cranberry juice);[6] the salty dog,[7] the grapefruit mimosa,[7] and a grapefruit radler.[8]
